You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 123
Despite her protests, rissa was taken to a meal by Matthew.
Served with an assortment of delectable dishes at Skylight Restaurant, rissa decided to put a halt to
herints.
After all, her grudges and dissatisfactions were directed at Matthew and not the delicious foods served.
Upon filing her tummy, rissa got up and asked the waiter for the bill.

Quickly, the manager approached in person and looked at Matthew awkwardly.
Staring directly at the manager, rissa demanded, “Stop looking at him. We’ve decided to go Dutch
for this meal. What’s the total?”
Receiving a look of acknowledgment from Matthew, the manager smirked and revealed a number.
rissa’s eyelids twitched upon hearing it.
Ouch, such pain.
At such a price, even splitting the bill would cost her a small fortune.
She reluctantly pulled out her credit card while trying to keep her cool smile all the while.
“Okay then. Lead me to the cashier counter to foot this bill.”
“It’s okay. I’ll do it for you.”
Having taken rissa’s card, the manager turned and walked out of the private lounge.
Meanwhile, she could only patiently wait.
She tried her best to ignore Matthew, nonchntly lowering her head to browse her phone to pass the
time.
Of course, the slightmotion had attracted unwanted attention from diners around. She could feel
gazes fell on her, thus making her extremely ufortable. rissa prayed in her heart that the
manager woulde back quickly, or she might have to go out on her own.
“re.” The moment Matthew’s maic voice called out, she could feel her heart beating feverishly.
Trying to remain calm, she chose not to answer.
Since rissa did not respond, Matthew’s slightly twitched, perhaps from annoyance. Taking out a
cigarette, he lit it between his fingers, took a deep huff, and puffed out a cloud of smoke.
The smell of smoke whiffed into rissa’s personal breathing space. This was what she was
ustomed to: the smell of Matthew.
Slightly disturbed, she heard him said, “Just so you know. The rumors between Shermaine and I were
orchestrated by the Smallwoods.”
rissa could not help but smirk. She could clearly see that the scandal did have the Smallwoods
orchestration written all over it. However for him to act on the same page as the Smallwoods intended,
could it be that his hands were tied?
As if reading her mind, Matthew continued to exin, “During that period, mother used her illness as a
pretext to get Shermaine to visit her often. And every time mother asked me to pick her up, she and her
doctor would cook up some lies to deceive me.”
With that revtion directly from his lips, rissa started to understand the whole situation.
Yet, she could not do anything nor have any say should the Tysons wanted Shermaine to be their
daughter-inw so much.
He continued, “That was also why I went to Moranta with her so she could receive treatment. Besides,
the Wynters were exerting pressure on me. As a friend, I had to go visit her. That was it. I never did
anything else other than that.”
Matthew had never treated Shermaine more than a friend.
It was the Smallwoods who sneakily tried to confirm their marriage through the rumors. The Wynters
had turned a blind eye to their actions.
Previously, Matthew held back because of his brother, Matthias. He didn’t have a fallout with them and
ignored the rumors circting out there. After all, those rumors were unfounded. Matthew was already
coming up with a n to deal with the problem, so he wasn’t bothered at all.
Matthew was sure he could deal with the Wynters, but he had forgotten that rissa would
misunderstand after reading the news. Besides, Ellie’s interference caused him to miss his chance to
exin to her. He didn’t know this would happen.
Even if the Wynters tried to pressure him into listening to them, he handled them confidently while
trying to find a way out. After all, he knew he had total control over the situation.
Just like he was sure the youngdy would end up being his.
Hmm, contrary to my expectations, rissa is behaving too calmly.
Matthew took another puff of his cigarette and flicked it casually. As the ash fell into the ashtray, his
gaze narrowed.
The youngdy remained unfazed after hearing his exnation.
Licking his teeth, Matthew asked, “re, don’t you have anything to say?”
rissa looked up and met his gaze.
“I have nothing to say.”
With that, she rose to her feet and strode out of the private lounge. The manager was heading back
with her card, so she took it from him and left without hesitation.
The moment she exited the room, a pair of stunning couples came toward her.
As rissa’s gazended on thedy, she recognized her immediately. Isn’t this the pretty celebrity
with an innocent image who’s quite popr recently?
Look at the tall and burly man beside her. He’s different from the elegant Matthew and charming
Jeremy. Wow, he’s smoldering hot. His arm is around her waist. I think he can snap her in two if he
wants.
They brushed by each other in a matter of seconds.
They should’ve been strangers, but as Matthew caught up to her, the man nced at rissa and
smiled knowingly.
Matthew seemed to know this man as he inclined his head politely.
After they left, the celebrity asked her male partner.
“You know them?”
After they entered the private lounge, the man pulled her into hisp and caressed her gently. “That
was Matthew and his girlfriend.”
“Oh? He decided to partner with you because of her, right?” thedy eximed. “No wonder. Look how
pretty she is. If I were a man, I’d want to ravish her.”
A sh of displeasure appeared in the man’s gaze.
He lifted her chin and nibbled her lips. After a long silence, thedy’s lips became swollen. She wiped
her lips and hissed in pain. However, she didn’t seem to be pissed off. Instead, she straddled him
seductively. Her actions and words were the total opposite of the innocent image she showed to the
public.
“Didn’t I satisfy you? Hmm?” Her hands trailed over his chest. “You’re so horny. I’ll feed you after
dinner, alright?”
Before leaving the private lounge, rissa had already booked a ride. She ran out and got into her ride
immediately. Finally, she got rid of Matthew.
After what had happened, she wasn’t in the mood for shopping anymore and decided to head home.
rissa took a nap and worked briefly on herptop. When she went to her balcony, she saw the ck
car parked downstairs again.
He’s too free, huh?
Perhaps he’s doing this on purpose so I’ll forgive him. He knows I’ll notice his car.
Hmph!
This is the first time he’s doing this.
What a sly fox.
Anyway, he can do whatever he wants. I have plenty of time to spare. But he’s a president running a
company. Let’s see who will stand till the end.
Meanwhile, Matthew indeed couldn’t spend all night here. He was bombarded with phone calls and
emails constantly.
Soon, another phone call came in.
“Mr. Tyson, did you get her back? As your partner, do you want some suggestions from me?”
It was the beefy man Matthew had bumped into earlier.
Anger zipped past Mathew’s eyes.
“Mr. Shaw? No need. I don’t appreciate bing a kept man.”
The man scoffed. “Well, my lover allowed me to live off her. Mr. Tyson, even if you desire, I don’t think
Ms. Quigley will allow you to do so.”
Matthew’s gaze darkened in displeasure. Even if the man couldn’t see Matthew’s reaction now, he
knew thetter must be brooding now.
Mr. Shaw couldn’t have been more delighted.
Back then, they were the top among their peers but hated each other immensely.
Even though they had partnered up now, they still despised each other.
“Well, Mr. Tyson. If you don’t want to listen to my advice, I won’t waste my time.” He promptly changed
the topic. “Let’s talk business. My family discussed the positions which originally belonged to the
Wynters, and we agree to your conditions. We’ll offer you something in return, of course.”
“I know you won’t let such a good opportunity go to waste.”
“Ha! You make it seem like you’re generous. We can get those without your help.”
“But you’ll have to pay a bigger price to achieve that.”
Mr. Shaw harrumphed. “Fine. This is beneficial to both of us. I can’t believe you were so ruthless to the
Wynters. All they did was force you to marry a gorgeousdy. Why did you refuse it? Matthew, I never
knew you were such a loyal man.”
Matthew ignored his tease.
Actually, it wasn’t about them forcing him to marry Shermaine. The conflicts had umted over
time, causing him to burst out at the right timing.
“You’re still nning to drag them down. If the Wynters find out, they’re going to skin you alive. You
might not be afraid, but don’t forget she’s your weakness.”
Matthew arched a brow. “Mr. Shaw, is that concern I hear?”
“Scram!”
The line was cut abruptly. Matthew ced his phone aside and looked up where rissa was. She’s
so nonchnt, huh?
Matthew didn’t remain there for long. Soon, his car sped away.
The moment Matthew’s car left her building, rissa hurriedly put on some makeup for a fun night out.
She had just invited Damon and Ellie to a bar tonight to rx and also inspire her writing.
Oh, and also to drink her sorrows away.
She met up with Ellie and had dinner before heading to a popr bar.
Stepping in, they immediately heard the deafening volume of the music and noisy crowd. The neon
lights shone on the writhing mass on the dance floor, pulsing in sequence to a heavy bass beat.
rissa took a seat. When the others were busy chatting or searching for a target, she had already
downed a lot of drinks.
